The Top of government is more subject to 'illusions of power' and feelings of 'self-importance' than the Bottom.

The Bottom of government has less illusions than the Top. Whatever illusions the Bottom has usually relates to illusions and misunderstandings of 'freedom and equality'. No one is free and equal in some kind of 'measurable way'. The parameters of 'Equality' is 'set' by Number; not language. The parameters of 'freedom' are circumscribed by law. Law circumscribes the parameters of non-acceptable behavior; it does not tell you how to 'behave'; it tells you how 'not to behave'. If you behave in that way, you violate the law and are punished. The term 'Equality' cannot be sufficiently described with words. 'Equality' of what; of possessions, money, physical strength, moral 'strength', 'health'( what is health?),etc. We go around in semantic circles, never reaching a precise description. That's why we have to use Number to determine the applicability of laws, policy, and 'political power'. Equality applies to the human condition; not the 'race' or the 'property or money owned' by an individual. Then we can include, exclude, and determine if the law and the policy is being applied 'equally' and 'fairly', because we can 'count'. Its the numbers stupid. The Top too easily is mesmerized by 'political power' and the function of the Office. The Top is more prone to make mistakes than the Bottom. The Top should function from democratic principles, not egotistical, selfish, or economic principles. Its easier for the Top to be in 'illusion' than for the Bottom to be in illusion. When the Bottom is not treated Equally or Freely, they get 'hurt' and they 'feel' the hurt; when the Top doesn't do its job, it misunderstands power, is under illusions of superiority, or principles of economics, or is being 'party-loyal' and is not applying democratic principles. When the Bottom doesn't act democratically, they get put in jail; when the Top doesn't function democratically, do they go to jail? what happens to them? Nothing! They just say, that's our Party-ideology. Who has misunderstood power and who is under illusion?
